2nd Annual Bike Walk Play JPA event - just perfect!
Here is how our
Bike Walk Play JPA event was covered by local media:
NBC 29 story
"Even though a lot of people may drive up and down this street, actually
walking it, running into their neighbors, being able to say hi and just
take their time was a completely different experience for them, that
was really unique and also special," said co-organizer Susan Elliott.
Newsplex
"Summer means water and we could play the
game
in our own driveway and yard any other day but today is about being in
the street with your neighbors," Inessa Telefus, who lives in JPA.
The Daily Progress
"It makes the neighborhood feel like a place I want to be, not just where my house happens to be," Elliott said.

Not too high and not to low! Price it right and it will go!
Determining a price for your home is both an art and a science and I
have been perfecting it year after year.
Here are a few things I
have learned over the years:
Factors that do affect a property value:
- style
- location
- time of the year
- property and neighborhood
- how quickly seller needs to sell
Factors that do not affect a property value:
- what the owners paid when they bought the property
- some of the improvements or upgrades the owners made to the property
- the cash proceeds the owners need or want from the transaction
- what friends, neighbors or relatives say the property is worth

from a happy Belmont resident
"I had a very favorable experience using Ms. Inessa Telefus as my realtor
only two months ago now. From start to finish, I was impressed with her
professionalism, loyalty and sound judgment. When the seas got rough,
she knew how to steady the course to get the job done. Ms. Telefus uses
her superior interpersonal skills to quickly gain a sense of trust and
to establish rapport with her clients-This is ultimately what makes her
unique. I would recommend Ms. Telefus wholeheartedly." - M.A.Labels: Belmont, buyer agent, Charlottesviile real estate, Inessa Telefus
